Uniting Neighbors and Cleaning House: |
 | By Lucy Fried, with appreciation to Teresa Thompson and Jessa Chisari On Christmas Eve in 2019, roots of an enormous ficus tree at the southern end of a Court 6 building damaged the underground electrical conduit and caused a dangerous outage that left electrical wires overhead for a year and an uncovered earthen pathway longer than that. |
Tree photos and caption by Zig, uproot damage photo by Don Dongallo
In early May, a Chinese elm was uprooted in Court 10 with limbs falling onto a resident’s exterior wall. Photo 1 below is a picture of the uproot damage. Photo 2 shows several limbs with cables attached to a neighboring tree to prevent any further damage to the building until the tree can be tactically removed. In Photo 3, all but one of the cables have been removed.

 | Michael Myers, Court 3, is sort of a shy guy, keeps to himself; if you see him in the laundry room he’ll probably just issue a grunt in passing. He loves kids, especially teenagers, loves to hear them laugh and scream. In his garage you’ll find a vast collection of sharp objects; during the recent inspection, he was cited for the dark stain found in one corner. |
 | Frida spends her days in her Court 7 flat painting ruminative self-portraits and sipping mezcal out of an orthopedic shoe. On the Dia del Muerto she plans to sing “Moon over Venice” in honor of her sister, Silvia, and light a candle in her memory. Look for her during the Halloween procession; she’ll be the one walking with a limp. |
 | Returning from Irwindale some years ago, a man (let’s call him “Bob”) experienced an insatiable craving for hot sauce. Before long, he wouldn’t answer to anything but “Sriracha Man.” If you trick or treat his Court 2 home on Halloween, don’t expect any candy; Sriracha Man passes out packets of hot sauce. Suck it, wimps. |
 | Hulk Hogan’s recent proposal to the Board to convert the clubhouse to a Crunch gym was narrowly defeated; he’s challenged the Board to a tag team cage match in response—details in the December Highlights. He plans to dole out moustache wax and kettle bells to the kids for Halloween this year. |
